what's in a name?

My real name is Thomas but everyone calls me Grant. Thomas comes from the Greek word “twin”. I got this name cause my mom wanted me to have a name from the Bible. I liked that idea. I asked my mom what my name would have been if I was a girl, but she said she knew I was going to be a boy so she didn’t have one. I like the name Thomas but I would rather be called grant. I think that I would just stay with grant if I got to rename myself because it isn’t the most common name.

Week 5A

If I was a color I would be blue. Blue is my favorite color. Blue is our school color. My room has blue wallpaper all over the place. If I were a type of food I would be a cheese burger. Cheese burgers are the best food in the world. They have great taste. If I were a type of car I would be a mustang. They go really fast and they are awesome cars. If I were a superhero I would be superman. He can do it all. He is my favorite superhero. If I were a type of music I would be Christian music. I love it.

week 4A

I believe that nurture is what is most important. My parents are the ones that teach me all of the things that I need to know. I learn so much things from my parents. I act the way my parents act. My parents have always been good people there whole life and they have set good examples for me and that’s why I am the good kid I am today. I know they will always be good role models. We can easily learn so much from our parents. It is defiantly nurture and not nature. But some people will disagree to this.

Week 3A

If I could star in a movie it would be Coach Carter. It is my favorite basketball movie. Basketball is my favorite sport. I am the only Caucasian on the team and I have to earn a spot. My co-star would be Samuel L. Jackson. How awesome would that be to be in a movie with Samuel L. Jackson. We would film this in Hollywood. My wardrobe would be gangster clothes because all of my teammates are gangster. We are the best basketball team in the league and we go undefeated and we win the championship.

week 2A

I have never dressed up for Halloween except this year I’m going to Travis’s party as a nerd. You must be thinking I’m pretty boring for never dressing up for Halloween. I have never found interest in dressing up. I live in the country so I never been trick or treating. I am go to Travis’s party as a nerd because Zac gave me the idea and a mask. This will be my first real Halloween experience. I am sure I will have fun. I don’t know why I am going as a nerd but it is the only thing that I have.

Week 1A

I listen to Christian music most for the time. My whole generation were Christian. I love listening to Christian music because I am proud to be a Christian. I love going to church and youth group. I have become a stronger Christian when listening to this music. I feel good about myself being a Christian. I don’t care what other people think about me. These days people don’t listen to much Christian anymore cause they like rap or pop. In rap music there is a message in them that isn’t good at all for anyone. I listen to Christian music because I get a good message out of it.

Setback

I think it is true because when I sprained my ankle I couldn’t play basketball for a few weeks. There is no way to get better when sitting on the side line. The only thing I could do is watch my teammates and learn from them. But once my ankle was better and I could play again, it took a lot of work to get back in shape. I got back in shape I and I was back playing basketball and I got back into the flow of everything. I have not had another ankle injury since, and I hope I don’t get another one.
